The four service academies are: the United States Air Force Academy, the United States Military Academy, the United States Naval Academy, and the United States Merchant Marine Academy.
“The students who attend our country’s service academies represent the best the United States has to offer,” said Senator Schatz. “I look forward to seeing these young men and women grow into the next generation of military leaders.”
